Abstract
- Application of electric current in peritoneal dialysis was performed to observe the change of small intestine movement through an abdominal window, and to acceleration migration of certain ions. Prominent elevation of potassium in the dialysate was seen after applying a negative charge in the peritoneal cavity. N.P.H. was not much effected by introduction of the electric current. Acceleration of small intestinal movement was also observed after the application of electric current in peritoneal dialysis. Sow intestinal movement, when large amounts of lavage fluid are present in the peritoneal cavity, will be moderatelyaccelerated as a result of the application of electric current. Electric current can be applied both to prevent distension of the abdomen and adynamic ileus in peritoneal dialysis, and to accelerate too migration of the potassium ion and certain other ions.
